5] – Green
Party candidates to Hold Final Joint Rally in Maryland on Sun., Nov. 6 at 1 PM
at the University of Maryland at College Park, Grand Ballroom of the Stamp
Student Union. Dr. Jill Stein, the presidential nominee of the Green
Party, will rally with her vice-presidential candidate, Ajamu Baraka, at the
University of Maryland. They will be joined by other Green candidates in
Maryland including US Senate candidate, Dr. Margaret Flowers and congressional
candidates Kamesha Clark (CD04) and Nancy Wallace (CD08).US Senate candidate,
Margaret Flowers said: "It is fitting that we hold our final event at the
University of Maryland. Not only do Millennials have the most to gain by
working for a Green future, but my experience throughout the campaign is that
Millennials are eager to step outside of the stranglehold of the two
plutocratic parties and support Green candidates. The current system is not
working for their generation. The Greens offer a future free of debt, with
healthy living wage jobs, health security and a more peaceful world. This
represents what the majority of people support." Contact Kevin Zeese at

This
concert is a benefit for Tubman House, a community space in Sandtown-Winchester
that assists residents in a process of transformation that will make the
community whole, while providing resources to meet their needs and thrive. By
facilitating community cookouts and gatherings, a clothing and food pantry,
urban farming, political education, and other programming, T.H. creates a
healthy environment for children to grow and live. Named for the great
abolitionist who freed hundreds of enslaved people, TH works to bring
self-determination to our communities so that all residents have a role and a
voice in the policies and practices that affect their lives. TH is a project of
the 1619 Coalition, which includes the American Friends Service Committee's
Friend of a Friend program, as well as Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle.
